What can you do on Linux that you can't do on macOS?

Run an executable that didn't come from the app store without asking permission first

>>106650002
Look, I used to shitpost on /g/ about how good macOS and macs are and how terrible Linux is. Now, I've just bought a Thinkpad and using Linux on it. Because I'm just sick of how unusable and buggy macOS has gotten in the recent years. The UI is also designed for retards.

I swear, macOS is unusable. I get so many audio problems with my bluetooth headphones, get weird background processes using 100% of a CPU core, endless memory leaks...

This disease called "autism" has no basis in physical reality and simply does not exist in many countries, like Afghanistan.

It really is a racket to market pills and dumb people down. Especially dissidents. Rebels, revolutionaries.

The whole GATE program is to recruit kids into the MIC. They don't want anti-government people who are smarter than them.

You think I am spinning a yarn? Read this, it is well-documented by actual, well-published psychopharmacologists. The tall poppy gets cut down.

If you don't diagnose it, it doesn't exist!

I'm sure Afghanistan has no recorded documentation of a lot of things, because it's fucking Afghanistan

the can/can't debate, levied by tech pros, is all made into *can* by the same tech pros. it's not about the computer, it's about the man sitting at the computer and his skillset. with enough skill he can make anything happen on any machine. "machine can/can't" is a joke.

every 3-4 weeks of using macos at work, I'll punch my m2 pro's keyboard because it's not doing what I want it to

never have that happen with ubuntu

Use a modern OS on a platform that's not ARM or x86_64

Cmd+C, Cmd+V
>see hidden files without a shortcut
You can enable that in the terminal with defaults
>printscreen key works
OS X has keybindings for that instead. Cmd+Shift+3 for a full screenshot, Cmd+Shift+4, Space for a single window screenshot iirc
>window tiling
It can be done in the native WM as well as in X ones (You can run X and DWM and I'd assume other WMs on OS X)
>search single directories rather than the whole fs
Pretty sure this is a thing
>share your Internet with other devices
This is definitely a thing

what exactly is her "hypothesis"? Because there is no problem solving on Mac. It either just works or it just doesn't and also doesn't tell you why.
From my experience people who use apple products are the most technically inept people in existence.
If you were to do a study like that and apply adequate controls (ideally IQ but parental income and education level does the trick I guess) I'm pretty sure the windows kids would come out on top. That being said there is probably a whole crowd of "no computer" kids that only ever used phones, tablets and consoles
